Rollie 35 royalty

The Queen´s Rollei was one of 1500 gold plated and crocodile leathered Rollei 35S models (Singapore, Sonnar 2,8/40mm). It was featured to celebrate Rollei´s 60th anniversary in 1980. Described in Eikmann/Vogt: "Kameras für Millionen", the story of Heinz Waaske, the inventor/constructer of the 35.
The later gold models feature a hot shoe on the top of the camera, which ruins imo the elegant lines!
OT: I hope her majesty doesn´t point her 35 at public traffic devices or police officers - you know: no passport, suspicious photographic behaviour ...!
